Mr. Smith denied that he preached on Sunday in be half of any party.

Thi3 letter is subjoined to Mr. Rand's article of last week.

Th e former arti cle is calmly and considerately written, nnd shows no nl-will towards the mutt who has so attacked and badgered him. The latter speaks for itself. We presume Mr. Smith's adherents will maintain that he shows no anger, but only\\ righteous Indignation,\— but for our part, if the righteous are anima ted by a spirit such us he betrays, we had rather not keep their company. While his reputation for benevolence and dignity must alike suffer from this miserable posting up of abusive manifestos in taverns arrd shops, and from his dragging a petty disagreement^ into public notoriety through the columns of an Albany paper, the style of his language toward n gray-headrd clergyman does little |'credit to his taste or sense of propriety. Th e sentences in whi^h he speaks of Mr. Rand's \ superlative meanness and wickedness\ of his conduct as \ unprincipled, malicious and hase,\ and finally gives him a parting bene diction as \o wicked and obstinate old matt\ savor more of the scolding of some incensed virago, than of the-eloquence and logic for which Mr. Smith's admirers give him credit. W e are reminded of the anecdote of the curs, mg sailor, who was exhorted by a good Quaker to \ Swear away, friend, till thee gets all that bad stuff\ out of thee; for thee can never be happy till it is_all gone !\ We are sure that Mr: S. must -feel much relieved since he has run, too, must a man be, when to make a per son content njfeom he slanders Willi the charge of\ dissimulation,\ he hlls-him, that Peler -was, undoubtedly, n .good man, even when rebuked by Paul for dissimulation. Mr . Rand pals me on the ba«k, an d says lo me ; \ Why are you-ol^J 1 in. indued* rul\ hut at the same time. 1 acknowledge, that you, ITs was the dissembling Peler, are a good hian. Your duly, therefore, is to ihank me for my ac knowledgement of your christian integrily.ratlier than to blame me for the slight reproach I cast on it.\ Now, I am not willing to make such a bargain wild Air. Kund, or wilh any other man. I aoi not willing to he paid-nffin praises for the slanders which he, or any other man, may choose In heap upon me._ But, lo return to the sup pressed dainitton. Cerla _in_ it is. that honesty forbade the suppression. Ha d lie, however, em- : \nitrnn in In* ciinfinuiiicaliuii l o you, be would have made that communication self-comradictory and nonsensical;—he would have made himself and Ins communication to be laughed at. In tliese circumstances, therefore, be chose the part of dishonesty. It is true, as Mr . Rand says, that he has pro posed to me \ a court of reference- JLJut whnt else didhe propose? He gravely proposed\ that I —not he—should be the person put On trial — that I—not he—should be tried, a s the slanderer! He would have me held up, as the slanderer; trnd himself sympathised wilh, as the slandered. Do your readers inquire, on what ground Mr. Rand <g *3 c*,o t .

I am willing, as will there he seen, to let his slender proof—his n o proof indeed —of \the electioneering character\ of those discourses, pass for full proof.

Gov. members of the Senate and House of Representatives and a member of Congress ia'tbotfXlh Con gressional District, was held irtMassncbusetts 'on Monday the 10th inst. \Though the result is not all \vc could have vyishe'd.J yet iffmay b'eregarded as a Whig triumph.

Th e Governor and Lieutenant Governor will be chosen by the Legislature—and the excel lent 'Whig incumbents of those offices.will, of course, bo re-elected. This election is, therefore, a signal tri umph of the Whig party of Massachusetts, nvnr th n rnmbinod fnrrpa nf I.ncp-Focnisnr, Nativism, Abolitionism, and a'll the olher isms that now- infest our Commonwealth— and mpst'tf which, we may safely tfus't, will be extinguished by this decided victory over the in all. Massachusetts, notwithstanding- the threats of her enemies, and the fearful forebodings of some of her friends,\ is still Whig. By the Whig faith she intends firmly to abide, and upon Whig principles she means steadfastly to stand. \ TEXAS.—The Texas ' .National Register,' winch was-n-warm opponent of Annexation, complains somewhat bitterly of the refusal of President POLK to receive thi Texos Minister recently appointed by Prpsidpht Jnmn .q, .for— the purpose, it says of settling various items ^f-u^finished-business-feetween-the-Hv tries. Tho same paper informsus that, if Annex ation had not taken place, a plan had been matured by many leading men in Taraapli- pas, Coahuilln, Senorn and California, for the Union of these provinces with the Repuh- lic of Texas. The Register says : ' This new political arrangement woqlft- un doubtedly have been attainable, and i,t need ed but to be attempted to succeed. The Re public would then have extended from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, embra- Tihg the finest ports on the Wfestern coast of North. Aiperica, and giving to our own mer chants almost a complete monopoly of the trade with China. But all this is now past, nnd we merely allude to the facts stated as we would to a piece of history which can no longer be of any use lo us.'

Every person starting is expected to be well armed with a rifle or heavy sh,ot gun, sixteen pounds of shot or lead, four pounds of powder, caps, ttc, two horse£or mules for each per son, or a wagon ana eight cattle for every five porsons, tents, &c. \ LIBEBTY PAKTY\ VICTORT.—We learn from the Yates Co.

W e there fore add these comments, whjch we presume will clear us from any charge of improper intent, in the publication of Mr. Smith's effusion. .—, The \ Party of Progress\ have fallen off at the recent eleclion in this county, near ly a hundred votes since Inst fall, Magnusr Apollo Jackson, who left his editorial duties in Albany, to enlighten the voters x>f Sullivan and Lenox, hn^* succeeded in diminishing the abolition vote in both towns.
